About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Ushuaia Malvinas Argentinas (USH) to Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP)?

While takeoff favors the right for Ushuaia's dramatic mountain and channel scenery, the landing at Aeroparque—where you'll spend more time at lower altitude with clearer views—offers superior urban and estuary geography from the left.

What does the Ushuaia to Buenos Aires flight path pass over?

The flight tracks north-northwest across Patagonia at cruise altitude (around 28,000-32,000 feet). Notable features include the Andes spine running parallel to the west (visible as a distant ridge line on clear days), the Pampas grasslands dominating the landscape below, and the transition from Tierra del Fuego's sub-Antarctic terrain to the temperate plains of Buenos Aires province. The Río Negro and Río Colorado are crossed during descent into the Buenos Aires basin. At cruise, the curvature of the Andes is visible on the western horizon, but the flight path itself crosses relatively featureless terrain—the real geography comes at departure and arrival.
